What CX leaders do that laggards don’t

Companies that rate highly for customer experience are more likely to have well-integrated technology, make their investment decisions with their customers in mind and are using AI in their CX solutions.

That’s according to research conducted by Merkle, an experience transformation consultancy. Every year, Merkle conducts research into customer experience from both the vendor and customer side. Nearly 20 percent of the businesses surveyed are classified as “CX leaders.” 

These leaders have an end-to-end customer experience strategy, but they’re also playing by a different cultural playbook.
